It seems to me that every year we hear more important news about the microbiome that is unique to each species (and each individual), which can contain trillions of organisms. These symbiotes act in important ways to maintain our health. Is there any concern that the microbiomes of these extinct species may be extinct as well?
Thanks for doing this AMA, my dad has every issue of Whole Earth and CoEv, and I've long been a fan of your SALT podcasts. Thanks for all your work!
